Octopus Overlords

Robert Wadlow

World's still tallest ever man at 8'11.1" ...Died at age 22 in 1940.

Him and his story has always been a thing that interested me my entire life. Its a very heartwarming story yet very sad to be stricken with that damn tumor. My wife's was on the other side and she is short..4'8" and had to have brain surgery before I met her to have it removed. Robert seems like he was such a kind person who deserved a longer life than he got.

Um, RIP? Didn't spend the half hour to watch the video. Attention span does not exceed 5 minutes tonight.

When we were teenagers me and a friend were driving through Shelbyville IN and saw a sign proudly proclaiming it the home of Sandy Allen, "The World's Tallest Woman." For some reason we thought that was hilarious and "Attack of the 50' Woman" jokes went on for far too long. Wiki says she had kind of a sad life, too. Now I'm sorry we laughed at her.

Some personal dashcam footage: Nothing like a little panic braking to wake you up in the morning.

The Rick and Morty references were just icing on the cake.

How they got that jet car into the Corvette is the real trick.

Yeah. And he lived, he's the "feel good" portion of the story.

Jonathan Frakes (Riker STTNG) posted this. William Shatner sent it to him for his birthday

I posted this in the game's thread but its such a nice little animated video I thought it belonged here for those not interested in the game to view.

Animated short The Last Bastion

I think he needs the brake on his controls plus a harness.

Lady Death

Good little animated movie. Seems to be based on the Lady Death comics.

Youtube is apparently changing how they enforce some of their standards on which videos can be monetized. It is creating quite the brouhaha.

Fascinating.

Ive just found that YouTube has live video feeds from all over. So far just found a kitten academy where they are all sleeping, a Jackson Hole downtown where people are milling around, and this great NASA live feed from the space station.

Live feed of the space station as it orbits.

Kinda neat that its night here and they were flying over the sunlit side as I watched.

EDIT: I think I posted the wrong link..think that one is just a nice video...try THIS ONE for the live feed.

You can go to this channel and input a YouTubers name and see what their YT earnings are at a guess.

Makes me sick.

Why? And those ranges are great. $18k - $290k is not really a useful measurement.

Why? If they're providing content that people want to watch then good for them. It doesn't mean we have to all like everything being produced.

Yeah... I'm trying to decide whether you think it's too high or too low?

IDEA: Record your own Youtube video discussing other content providers and what they make. I'm guessing if you throw a table or pitch a fit while discussing your feelings, you'll make bank. Alternatively, show some cleavage.

Just someone sitting at home acting like an idiot gets $500,000 a month or more it seems in some cases is sickening when smart life and world saving scientist make so little.
